So they charge 100 GBP more here in UK for R edition. I would love to know how much of the actual sold RED edition they give to HIV/AIDS programmes? Only Apple can get away with overcharging 100GBP for a 6 month old phone. Though I have to admit it looks stunning.

They didn't specified the amount that will go the the Red heart, on their website it says: A portion of the proceeds from every (PRODUCT)RED™ purchase will go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.
A PORTION! you know that knowing apple this could mean 2% or less.... comme on ... what a ripoff company.
